I'll know in a few months. The first seeds are going in the starter pots tonight. The first planting will be:
"Volunteer" Tomatoes
Mammoth sunflowers
Straight Eight cucumbers
*Plum Lemon Tomatoes
*Yellow Pear Tomatoes
*Old Virginia Tomatoes
*Super Choice Tomatoes
*Scarlett Topper Tomatoes
Early Snowball A Cauliflower
Spacemaster Cucumber
Danvers Half Long carrots
Great Lakes #118 lettuce
Salad Bowl lettuce
evergreen bunching onion
Copenhagen Market Early cabbage
Barbados Hybrid Broccoli
Calabaza Squash
California Wonder peppers
De Cicco Broccoli
* Is for heirloom seeds
On second thought, that may be the first two plantings. I don't think I have enough pots to do them all.

I like your list, many of them I would be planting also.
I would add Swiss Chard and herbs.
For the times that I have needed more pots for starting seeds than I had, I have bought the cheapest of stryrofoam coffee cups, they are cheaper than flower pots.
I poke 3 holes in the bottom with a pencil for drainage and they will last about 3 years.

How to grow a space-saving potato garden in a trash bag.
From “Fresh from the Garden”
episode DFFG-302
If you don’t have a large vegetable plot, you can grow potatoes in 10-or 15-gallon plastic containers. An even easier method is to grow potatoes in a plastic trash bag (figure A). Growing potatoes in a plastic bag is a space-saving and fun way to grow tubers of almost any variety. And since the method is almost foolproof, it also makes a great school project for young children.
